I keep 400k in a Thai bank, no other proof required. I may have zero income and live off my wife or Thai kids. As for foreign money - WISE allow me to choose if deposits are marked 'foreign' or 'local' transfers by my Thai bank account.

So you just switch to multi entry non o, or lie on the forms they have no way of checking.

I don't think they will ever tax foreigners foreign income, it's just scare stories to get more clicks. Basically the Thai government are too stupid and lazy to bother, unless you're daft enough to complete forms and offer your money to them!

Yes, I don't understand the people posting their home country is cheaper. Back in the UK a room in a shared house would cost 600 pounds/month, compared to my 3 bed Thai home with repayments of 220 pounds/month.

It's a special class for English speakers, separate from the other classes in the government school. 3 western English teachers, 3 Native Chinese teachers. Don't know if it's decent or not, my 12yo only started this term. Maybe some sort of experiment or we were discounted to get a NES pupil in the class.

Just do local flagged bank transfers using WISE, and tell them you live off your Thai wife. That's if they ever ask.

.....with 3rd rate doctors!

Male or female? Married female can get Thai citizenship after 1 year + baby or 2 years no baby with a joint income of 15+kbht/month.

Nope, it's harder for Brits to live in the EU, compulsory health insurance, bank balance checks, income checks. Pension increases will go in the next few years. Thailand is easy in comparison. PI is even easier, and you get pension rises

I can't even do that properly any more!

Have your gf buy it on a 30 year mortgage, you make the repayments while you live there. If the bank won't trust your gf with a mortgage .....neither should you!

7 months after I was hit and run ..... Still waiting for a court date. Note to OP, if he's claiming injury the police will require a doctor's report on his injuries. Which you can ask to see. No doctor's report = no court case

All the time. Sometimes with Samurai swords.

I've never found 'you get what you pay for' to be true. How much did you pay for your wife?

I pay 8kbht/term for my son to attend English/Chinese class in a government school (24 kids). Can't beat that!

I smoked loads before it was legal, 100gm brick by post 400bht. After it was legal 600bht. Back in the UK (2008) had some pals who rented a house then grew in every room. When caught, community service plus loss of crop, no jail. Cannabis was smoked, sold, traded in almost every pub 'smoking shed' that I visited. When stopped by police, if you had a bag on you, you just said personal use, they would hand it back, and off you went.

My 5k5 hybrid was 13kbht delivered, been working nearly 2 years now without problems. Slightly different now 6k2 at 13k5bht. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/anern-35kw36kw55kw62kw-24v48v-100a-mppt-220vac230vac-offon-grid-hybrid-inverter-i3481076370-s19883486768.html? If PV not supplying enough, it just tops up from the grid.

Most cameras can record 8 days on a 128GB card (mine certainly does). I use the LLSee 380pro as you can use the full recording without paying a yearly subscription. It also tracks the person moving in shot, and allows 2 way comms. Has to be linked to a smartphone to view, also sends snapshots of 'alerts' to your phone. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/llsee-v380-pro-4k-8mp-wifi-ptz-outdoor-ip-security-camera-ai-i5131571791-s21668198096.html Lots of the other software require a paid subscription, which they fail to mention in the ads. EZVIZ mentioned by others appears to need a paid subscription to operate.

Real relationship = not much sex!

The Taliban don't agree!

He was a guy tasked with arranging the catering, and he couldn't even get that right. Everyone gets an important title in the entertainment industry

You can't trust any woman, is your partner another guy?

Tell them you're broke and ask to borrow 1,000bht.

RajDarBar Indian restaurant just by the dirty klong, near the night market end of Loi Krow.

I cycled 20km this morning with a pal (passed about 20 Thais also cycling), then we had drinks in 2 outdoor coffee shops. After that cups of tea on my patio, haven't even turned the fans on today. The weather has been great!
